I know I am a couple weeks behind, but it seems like you never got a satisfactory example of someone watching long form video on their Echo Spot. So here it is: My daughter Lola (who just turned 4) would frequently ask the Echo Dot in our kitchen to play songs from the cartoon Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood while she and her brother were having breakfast. Early this past summer we replaced the Echo Dot with an Echo Spot. When she asked the nice lady to "play Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" she was surprised to get an episode of the show from Prime Video instead. Though she often watches the episode, she also becomes frustrated when she can't form her query correctly to get the nice lady to play the soundtrack instead.

Hi, In response to your conversation about using BitTorrent vs buying the TV and movies you want: I gave up using BitTorrent almost 10 years ago. I was on the fence with the practice anyway, but then I saw several of my friends getting legal notices and bills in the mail from our service provider in Germany. They were typically around 1000 euro per letter and were because of copyrighted content download. If you went to court or hired a lawyer, you could usually get the fine reduced to 200-300 euro, but that still is a very expensive proposition. In my mind, the cost of buying only the content I want as opposed to fines and legal problems is an easy equation. It only take one 1000 euro bill to add up years of content. Not worth it!

Your show is a weekly must listen and I am glad to contribute, keep it up!

BTW - I don't live in the state where the (American)football team I want to watch is, what is the best method to me to watch the games I want to watch?

Guys, It's not so much that its convenience trumping fidelity, its about the fact that the average person can throw $60-70 on half a dozen online streaming services and still be locked out of a whole bunch of timed or regional exclusives because premium cable channels have the cash to hoard all the popular shows. That's before we even start talking about how global services that are relatively cheap in the west have much higher relative costs in the developing world where the average income is far lower,

Tom, Brian, and Bryce, I'm in need of intergenerational cord cutting advice. On the younger generational side, I'm a dad of a 8 month old baby girl. I would like advice on how you, Brian, set up proper amount of screen time as well as what content is good for kids. As kids get older and more able to manipulate a Roku or an iPad, how does a parent keep improper content away from young eyes? On the other generational side, I am getting questions from the in-laws about cutting the cable cord and saving some money. My first thought was DirectTV Now. I know that is cutting the cable cord-light, but there would be a savings. Thanks for the show, the humor, the production quality (Bryce), and the opposing view on Venom. Very glad to be one of your many bosses.
